BEER GOGGLES is penalised for a recent success at Sedgefield when he beat Moscow Presents, due to run in the previous race. But Micky Hammond's charge drops down a grade today and is preferred to More Madness. The latter has been placed over fences this year and can race off a lower mark back over the smaller obstacles as he has yet to win over hurdles in 14 attempts. Newyearsresolution scored at Wetherby in January but was well beaten off today's higher mark at Carlisle last time behind fourth-placed Master Murphy.
